DES 2018 to hold its 1st forum on AI best practices with global experts in Madrid

What will be the ethical limit in the development of Artificial Intelligence? What is the role of man in the face of automated systems? Can AI save lives?

There are many questions that still arise when developing a strategy of Artificial Intelligence in companies and within society itself.

What technologies are necessary to achieve standardization and better use of the opportunities that Artificial Intelligence opens to businesses? What role does security have in an AI environment?

AI Best Practices at DES Madrid 2018

The AInomics forum, organized by the Digital Enterprise Show (DES) in collaboration with SwissCognitive (one of the world’s largest cognitive technology hubs), will answer these and other questions through the participation of international experts in Artificial Intelligence at DES2018, during its upcoming celebration from May 22 to 24 in Madrid.

AInomics will address within its program the present role and evolution of technologies such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, automated reasoning, voice recognition and robotics, and how the development of this ecosystem will help improve existing technologies.

“Automation and Artificial Intelligence are revolutionizing all sectors. The AI ​​will give companies a better efficiency that must be reinvested in new experiences to customers and new business models,” said Sonia Pacheco, Congress Director of DES2018.

“For example, in terms of security, AI is able to identify the potential risks that the new generation of malware brings, putting the company on the level of early detection of cyber attacks. In banking, AI helps manage funds and products, and makes better investment decisions. And we could continue with many other examples,” she added.
